Peering Carrier Ethernet Networks(paperback)

Peering Carrier Ethernet Networks begins by providing background information on the evolution of important concepts and building blocks that have led to the current state of high bandwidth and high performance Ethernet technology in order to support current and emerging customer applications. The background information covered includes an overview of Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN) to describe circuit switching, multiplexing, and voice digitization that lead to the development of T1/T3 and SONET/SDH for transport. It interweaves these developments with changes in the regulatory regime.

Additional coverage includes Carrier Ethernet networks' technical standards, which describe how service providers can offer services to off-net customers using peered Carrier Ethernet networks and a description of the taxonomy of customers and their current and emerging applications at Layer 2 and Layer 3 on peered Carrier Ethernet networks.

The book concludes by describing next steps in Ethernet technology to meet growing demands and emerging trends.

• Presents detailed coverage of end-to-end services across wide area data networks
• Consolidates, in one ready reference, the latest applied research in this rapidly evolving field
• Provides the context, advantages, and industry standards for peering Carrier Ethernet networks

《Peering Carrier Ethernet Networks》首先提供了背景資訊，介紹了重要概念和基礎組件的演變，這些演變導致了目前高頻寬和高性能以支援現有和新興客戶應用的乙太網技術。所涵蓋的背景資訊包括對公共交換電話網（PSTN）的概述，以描述電路交換、多路復用和語音數字化，這些發展導致了T1/T3和SONET/SDH的發展。它將這些發展與監管制度的變化交織在一起。

其他內容包括載波乙太網網絡的技術標準，描述了服務提供商如何使用互聯的載波乙太網絡為離網客戶提供服務，以及對互聯的載波乙太網絡上的第2層和第3層的客戶及其現有和新興應用的分類的描述。

本書最後描述了以太網技術的下一步發展，以滿足不斷增長的需求和新興趨勢。
